PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
microprocessor interface
The microprocessor interface consists of multiplexed address/data bus (AD7–AD0), address bit (A8), address
latch enable (ALE), chip select (SEL), read enable (RD), write enable (WR), and interrupt (INT) signals. In
addition, the TNETS3001 provides both software- and hardware-interrupt capability based on the status of the
receive and transmit transport- and path-overhead alarms.
orderwire/APS interface
In the receive direction, the section-orderwire byte (E1), the line-orderwire byte (E2) and the APS bytes (K1 and
K2) are multiplexed to form a 576-kbit/s bit-serial stream. This interface consists of the multiplexed 576-kbit/s
data signal (ORDO), a clock signal (ORCO), and three framing pulses: a section-framing pulse (SRFR), a
line-framing pulse (LRFR) and an APS-framing pulse (RAP).
The transmit-side orderwire/APS interface is similar. The section-orderwire byte (E1), the line-orderwire byte
(E2) and the APS bytes (K1 and K2) are demultiplexed from a 576-kbit/s bit-serial stream. This interface consists
of the multiplexed 576-kbit/s data signal (OTDI), a clock signal (OTCO), and three framing pulses: a
section-orderwire-framing pulse (STFR), a line-orderwire-framing pulse (LTFR), and an APS-framing pulse
(TAP).
The orderwire interface supports two modes:

SELECTION
DESCRIPTION
Normal-orderwire
Normal orderwire
interface
ALTOW = 0
SRFR occurs one ORCO clock cycle before MSB of E1 byte in ORDO.
LRFR occurs one ORCO clock cycle before MSB of E2 byte in ORDO.
STFR occurs one ORCI clock cycle before MSB of E1 byte is expected in OTDI.
LTFR occurs one ORCI clock cycle before MSB of E2 byte is expected in OTDI.
Alternate-orderwire
Alternate orderwire
interface
ALTOW = 1
SRFR occurs coincident with the MSB of E1 byte in ORDO.
LRFR occurs coincident with the MSB of E2 byte in ORDO.
STFR occurs coincident with the MSB of E1 byte is expected in OTDI.
LTFR occurs coincident with the MSB of E2 byte is expected in OTDI.
datacom interfaces
In the receive direction, the section-overhead data-communication channel interface consists of a receive
data-out signal (SRDO) and a clock-out signal (SRCO). The line-overhead data-communication interface
consists of a receive data-out signal (LRDO) and a clock-out signal (LRCO).
In the transmit direction, the section-overhead data-communication channel interface consists of a data-in
signal (STDI) and a clock-out signal (STCO). The line-overhead data-communication channel interface consists
of a data-in signal (LTDI) and a clock-out signal (LTCO).
